on social media, even if you do not
agree with them.

your address, phone number or bank
details.

3. Be careful when buying something
online - only buy from trustworthy
websites.

4. Be careful of anything that is free
online - this could be a scam. Only
download from websites that are
trustworthy.

5. Remember even free downloads can
cost you money because they use data/
airtime.

6. You can change the privacy settings on
your social media platforms to help you
control who sees your information and
photos.

7. Don’t believe everything you read online
the first time - search for other
trustworthy articles, websites or people
to see what they are saying.

do others. It is not okay to log into
other people’s accounts or to use their
phones or profiles without their
permission.

9. Don’t spread rumors or post/share
hurtful or embarrassing stories or
photos.Things that may seem funny can
hurt someone.

10. Think twice before you click ‘send’ -
especially if you’re upset or angry.
Once you share a photo or a video it is
hard to control what happens to it and
who sees it.
